Teargas used against demonstrators in #Khartoum yesterday protesting against forced retirement of officers supporting #SudanUprising revolution last year. Footage shows what ensued. It was filmed exactly here: goo.gl/maps/RM8HEkueM… on El Gamhuriya Ave. H/T to @Lolzoldo for 📹

They're on the streets for brave people like this officer, who last year, asked his comrades-in-arms to join the cause & support the Sudanese people.

He said they were here for the regime 'to fall, and that's all'. ✊

Footage filmed here: goo.gl/maps/aBqrdzC7y… further east on the corner of El Gamhuriya Ave and El Qasr Ave shows the intensity of the tear gas. Also innovative shielding for cameraman with the road block. H/T @a7mdlsmail1 for 📹

Footage shows what the corner of El Gamhuriya Ave & El Qasr Ave looked like prior to dispersal from this Facebook livestream captured by @RamiTahir. It was filmed from here: goo.gl/maps/9G1vwmyuh…

Alternative angle, taken moments later, shows the moment the crowd was dispersed with tear gas and chased south down El Qasr Ave (ش القصر) (main crowd was here: goo.gl/maps/GCPNxeEGz…). H/T @SudanPlusNews for 📹

@SudanPlusNews Looks like the UAE-made Panthera T6/N6. It was located exactly here: goo.gl/maps/MKB6XNHkS…. We've seen these come out in protests before ().
